Chapter 118: War Horse Black Wind (Revised)

Uncle Zhao walked into the stable, rubbed Heifeng's head with a smile, and then began to tell the story about Heifeng.

"Black Wind is already thirty-two years old. The average age of a horse is thirty to thirty-five, but some can live longer. The father of our brigade's village doctor used to treat the army's war horses. He said last year that Black Wind is still very healthy. Even though he's old now, he's more agile than the five-year-old horse next to you."

When Uncle Zhao said this, his face was full of pride and satisfaction.

However, Bai Nuo believed this. Hei Feng still had strong vitality in his body, unlike an old horse.

"Don't be fooled by its well-behaved appearance now. It's a real warhorse. It followed Wei Zhongping's grandfather into battle and killed enemies more than 20 years ago."

Bai Nuo's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Hei Feng beside him in shock: "You mean, Hei Feng... participated in the war against the invaders?"

"That's right." Uncle Zhao nodded with a smile.

"Zhong Ping's grandfather was the captain of the cavalry company of the 36th Military Region of our army. Heifeng was raised by his grandfather himself. I heard that both of Heifeng's parents were also war horses of the cavalry company, but unfortunately they both died on the battlefield.

When the enemy invaded our place, it was Zhong Ping's grandfather who led the cavalry company to rush back at night to save the entire village. Later, he successfully repelled the enemy and captured the entire county town. Occasionally, he would bring Heifeng back to see everyone.

The last time Heifeng came back, he was covered in blood, carrying Zhong Ping's grandfather on his back. At that time... he was already dead. Heifeng began to recuperate in the village, and after he recovered, he settled down there. Perhaps Zhong Ping's grandfather had told him that this was his home, too.

Uncle Zhao looked at Heifeng with eyes full of nostalgia, missing the man who had stood in front of them like a hero.

"Originally, Black Wind was supposed to live with Zhong Ping's family, but the old fellow didn't like being treated specially. Zhong Ping's father said that Black Wind was a warhorse, a military horse, just like the soldiers in our country, who wouldn't take a penny from the common people. Even if he retired due to an injury, he would never stay home and eat and drink for free. So, everyone had no choice but to let him stay here to take care of the stable. You know what, with him around, these two stubborn dogs are very well behaved. If they bully you when you're taking your horses for a walk, just let Black Wind teach them a lesson."

Bai Nuo pursed his lips, gently stroked Heifeng's temples, and said with a smile, "I understand, Uncle Zhao. Don't worry, I will take good care of Heifeng. Heifeng is still very healthy. The environment here is so good, and the food is good every day. Heifeng can accompany Qishui for many years. I heard that some horses can live to be fifty or sixty years old. Heifeng is only in his thirties, so he is still young."

"Really?"

"Of course, you believe me." Bai Nuo nodded with a smile, his tone full of affirmation.

"Okay, okay, I believe it, I believe it." Uncle Zhao nodded happily.

Uncle Zhao walked away happily with his hands behind his back. Bai Nuo smiled at Hei Feng with a gentle gaze and a rare intimacy in his tone.

"Hello, Black Wind..."

"Shh, should I call you uncle?"

"Or Uncle Black Wind?"

"You should be of the same generation as Grandpa Wei!"

"Hehe...did the captain call you Uncle Black Wind?"

Black Wind: “Wheeze!”

How come this kid is still such a chatterbox!

Bai Nuo took a horsehair brush and brushed the hair of several horses first, then squatted in the stable with a saddle in his hand and started to repair it. It was obvious that this saddle was for adult men, and the stirrups were too long, so Bai Nuo probably couldn't even touch the stirrups when he sat on it.

So, fortunately, I shortened the distance a bit, and after adjusting the length of the stirrups, I stood up and looked at the four tall horses.

There was no need to think about the foal. Even if she could ride it, she couldn't afford the shame.

Among the other four adult horses, Heifeng is completely black. He looks tall and strong, and is definitely a handsome horse.

Standing in the manger next to Heifeng is a dark brown stallion with a black vertical stripe on his forehead. He looks very majestic. I just heard from Uncle Zhao that this is Heifeng's son, and his only child. He is only seven years old this year and his name is Dazao.

There were two mares left, one with black and white spots named Heidian, and the other pure white named Baiyun. They were the child brides that the brigade brought back to the commune horse farm for Dazao. The foal was born to Baiyun and Dazao.

It can be seen that the treatment of these horses in the breeding team is definitely the highest level. Although except Heifeng, the other horses also go to the fields to work, their food and accommodation are the best in the breeding team.

Bai Nuo just heard Uncle Zhao mention it and found out that the team actually had two more horses, which were usually managed by Uncle Zhao. The carriage that went to the county before was pulled by the other two horses, and the carriage that went to the county town on weekdays also used the other two horses.

It is said that Heidian will be sent to the stable on the other side of the cowshed in the afternoon to be the wife of the two horses, because Dazao only likes Baiyun. From now on, only Heifeng and his family of three generations will live in this stable.

The reason why there is a cowshed between the two stables is that Dazao would kick the other two stallions when he saw them fighting. Heifeng was too lazy to care about such stallion fights and just wanted to let them go. So the breeding team had no choice but to build the cowshed between the two stables.

"Uncle Heifeng, do you want to carry me for a walk, or let Dazao carry me?" Bai Nuo stood on the other side of the manger holding the saddle, looking at Heifeng seriously.

After hearing about Heifeng from Uncle Zhao, Bai Nuo no longer treated this retired warhorse as an animal, but treated it as an equal.

This is the minimum respect for a loyal warhorse.

In fact, she prefers to get along with these simple-minded and very loyal animals. There is not so much pressure and tricks, and she doesn't need to beat around the bush when talking to them.

Heifeng looked down at the thing in the little girl's hand. He was familiar with this thing and knew what it was used for. He turned his head to look at his silly son, then looked at the little human girl in front of him.

I vaguely remember that the company commander once said that human children should be well cared for.

The child is so young, what should he do if his silly son drops someone?

Thinking of this, Heifeng stretched his head over the manger and gently bit the little girl's sleeve.

Bai Nuo smiled and nodded: "Okay, then you take me with you, let's go for a walk, find a place where there is no one, and I will make you some delicious fruit."

After getting permission, Bai Nuo turned around and walked in quickly, putting the saddle on Heifeng's back. A small cloth blanket was specially sewn on the bottom of the saddle so that both Heifeng and the person sitting on the saddle would be more comfortable.

Finally, he went to the wooden rack next to him, took the reins of several other horses, put them on, led them out, and turned around to close the door of the stable.

When she went to the clerk to register in the morning, the clerk also said that she could actually take over all the work in the stable and would only be responsible for the stable where Heifeng's family lived. In this way, even if she did not go to collect hay, she would still get seven work points every day. In this way, a year's work points would be enough to exchange for her food for a year.

Bai Nuo was a little hesitant at first. It would be nice to go to the mountains to collect fodder after riding the horses. She could also go for a stroll in the mountains every day. But after meeting this family, Bai Nuo suddenly felt that it would be a good idea to only be responsible for this stable in the future. There was not much work, and seven work points a day were enough. She could still have a lot of free time.

Thinking of this, Bai Nuo decided to go find the clerk to register in the afternoon and then take over the key to the stable. From then on, she would be the manager of the Heifeng family.

"Uncle Heifeng, I'll go find the clerk in the afternoon. From now on, I will be the administrator of your family for three generations. What do you think?"

Bai Nuo unleashed the traction ropes of Dazao and the others to their maximum length, tied them to Heifeng's saddle, and asked them to follow behind, while turning his head to look at Heifeng.

"Hui Hui!"

"Hehe, it's settled then." Bai Nuo nodded with a smile.

Although she does not have the ability to speak animal language and cannot speak the language of animals, because she has the wood element that controls vitality and extremely high mental power, although she cannot understand every word of the animal language, she can understand their general meaning through her mental power.

In fact, she never understood why her mental power was obviously higher than that of many psychics, but she had not awakened her mental power. It was outrageous. It was just like she knew how to prepare medicines and prescriptions, but still couldn't treat illnesses.

She used to be speechless. Other people with psychic abilities could openly transform their mental power into tangible attacks and manipulations, but she, who possessed super high mental power but had not awakened her psychic ability, could only do things secretly.

Talent is indeed a strange thing.

Bai Nuo was riding on the tall horse Heifeng, with several other big horses following behind him. They were walking on the road of the team. Don't say it, he looked quite majestic.

When passing by the fields, he saw a group of people bending over to sow seeds from a distance. Bai Nuo didn't go over to bother them, and prepared to take another road to the mountain at the west end of the village.

"Bai Zhiqing, why are you still sitting on Heifeng?"

Some people looked up and saw Bai Nuo's relaxed look, and found him annoying no matter how they looked at him.

Bai Nuo bent down and touched Hei Feng's temples, then stood up straight with a confident look and said loudly, "Of course Uncle Hei Feng agreed. What's the matter? Does it bother you in any way?"

"Hey, you girl..."

"What's the matter?" The captain and the scorekeeper happened to be patrolling here. Looking at the little girl on Heifeng's back, he raised his eyebrows.

Wow, Heifeng actually let someone ride on his back today?

Don't be fooled by Heifeng's previous good-tempered appearance. He was a warhorse that had once kicked a Japanese soldier to death with one hoof. He was very fierce when he was ahead. It's just that his life has been better in the past two years and his temper has become much milder. However, not everyone can let him sit on his back.

The captain thought Bai Nuo would ride Bai Yun, who was more docile, but he didn't expect that this girl would play a big trick on him.

"Hey, Captain, you're here too. I was just planning to ask Uncle Black Wind to take us to the west end of the village."

"Hui Hui!"

Heifeng turned his head to look at Wei Zhongping. Seeing the grandson of the old company commander, he took the initiative to greet him.

He knows this kid!

The captain raised his hand and touched Heifeng's head, then looked at Bai Nuo speechlessly: "What did you call Heifeng just now?"

Bai Nuo tilted his head and said confidently, "Uncle Black Wind?"

The captain's mouth twitched fiercely: "Why are you still calling me uncle?"

"That's right!"

Bai Nuo seriously tried to straighten out the relationship with her captain uncle.

"I heard from Uncle Zhao that Black Wind was raised by your grandfather himself and was his warhorse, just like a military dog ​​in the army.

People in the army say that military dogs are their comrades and are treated as equals. The same is certainly true for war horses.

Your grandfather treats Heifeng like his own son, so he is Grandpa Wei's younger brother. You should call Heifeng Uncle, and it's fine for me to call him Uncle."

"Hahaha, yes, that's right, that's it." Grandpa Wei came over with a long pipe in his hand. He smiled happily when he heard the little girl's words, "My father did say that Black Wind was like his youngest son, much more honest than me, sensible and obedient. He also said that after the war was over, he would bring Black Wind home and find him a wife.

Although he no longer has a wife, he now has a son, a daughter-in-law, and a grandson, which means he has fulfilled what he had asked for.

Old Master Wei walked over, glanced at his stunned son, frowned, and asked dissatisfiedly, "Why, I think it's unfair for you to call Heifeng uncle. If it weren't for Heifeng, you wouldn't know who else you would have joined. What a humiliation."

"No, I'm not feeling wronged. I usually treat Heifeng as my own family. It's just that I suddenly didn't get it. Hello, uncle, hello!"

The captain nodded repeatedly in frustration, and glared at the little girl riding on the horse behind the old man.

This naughty girl will dig a hole for him.

"Hehe!" Bai Nuo smiled happily.

It’s so fun to tease the captain!

"Hello, Grandpa Wei."

"Okay, okay, go play with Heifeng, and be sure to be safe." Grandpa Wei looked at the little girl on the horse with a loving smile.

He knew Heifeng, and he knew that the girl must be sincere and really liked Heifeng and the others, otherwise Heifeng would not let the girl sit on his back.

People say that people become more intelligent as they get older, but the same is true for animals. They are even more sensitive to emotions and attitudes. They can tell who truly likes them and who is just pretending.

"I know, Grandpa Wei. Goodbye, Grandpa Wei, and goodbye, Captain Uncle." Bai Nuo smiled, waved his hand, and patted Heifeng gently.

"Hui Hui!"

Heifeng got the hint, raised his hooves and trotted towards the west end of the village, followed by four horses, three big and one small.

Bai Nuo stretched their leash to its maximum length, enough for them to follow behind flexibly without being restrained.

After leaving the crowd, Bai Nuo gently shook Hei Feng's reins, and Hei Feng received the hint and sped up a bit.

Bai Nuo turned around and glanced at the foal following at the back. Seeing that the foal could keep up with the speed normally, he felt relieved.
